  1. Researchers identify novel factor in HIV transmission [think before following links] https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-01-factor-hiv-transmission.html

    Quote

    During untreated HIV infection, many different variations of the virus are made within a single person. But when a new infection occurs, it's not the result of many viruses—just one variant is transmitted. This is known as the "transmission bottleneck," and scientists have struggled to explain it.

    The UVA researchers, including Jackson, David Rekosh and Dr. Marie-Louise Hammarskjöld, say the bottleneck may result in part from variations in the viral Rev protein and how it interacts with a part of the viral RNA known as the Rev response element, or RRE. The interaction is needed for the virus to make copies of itself in the cytoplasm inside our cells.

    The UVA team looked at Rev-RRE activity in viruses during vaginal HIV transmission and found that the viruses that established the new infections tended to show low Rev-RRE activity. That suggests that naturally occurring variations in Rev-RRE activity may determine which viruses start a new infection. It also may allow the virus to adapt to different "fitness landscapes," which could play a key role in how HIV takes hold inside a new person.

    "This is a new insight into HIV transmission," Hammarskjöld said. "If the Rev-RRE system is important here, it could also be important for other aspects of HIV disease, including how the virus establishes lifelong infections."

    I do not lean right . Will never support GOP. I have not voted for Biden this round of election. I feel both people are the same but on different spectrum. 

    Certainly both parties have essentially the same conservative politics for the most part.  Biden is certainly not Trump but he is also incapable of criticizing failed US policies (esp. ecological policies) and effectively leading to something like a progressive future.

    It's funny, I can say the same thing about Baltimore and DC. I used to travel to those locations a fair amount for raw house parties.

    How ironic.  The only house parties I've ever been to were in Philly, and now quite a while ago.  I know of none at all in DC or Baltimore., of any kind.  Then 1 raw fuck party in Newark.

     And if anything more NYC people have been flocking to Philly and the one last bath house here. 

    This is a good point.  However NYC has a population of 8.4 M of which it seems that more than 10% are gay males.  If NYC people were coming to Philly then it should be flooded with people.

    Where are all the Philly area guys?

    It's a little strange.  I don't live in Philly but used to travel there a fair amount.  In the early 2000's there were a lot of bb guys around Philly, some of whom showed up here.  I would have definitely expected more guys from Philly here but it isn't so.  

    The newish semi-private party scene in NYC may just be attracting more people to NYC.

    I notice I'm thinking of myself as a real whore bitch and identifying with photos like these.  I have no desire to wear makeup or women's clothes but definitely feeling these pics.

     

    Any input?

    Ok.... how do you react to this? [think before following links] https://timfuck.treasureislandmedia.com/scenes/jarod-steels-gloryhole-cumdump  (although maybe the twink thing might not do it for you).

    listen I get it but maybe make the rule a little bigger on their website.  I took an Uber from the other side of the city which wasn’t cheap and I was pissed I got there and denied entry.  
     

    In my opinion with a place like that where you would expect a rule out of the ordinary to apply perhaps make it more pronounced.  
     

    I like to bring toiletries, an extra towel, sometimes a change of clothes.  Had I known I would have left it all at home.  I wasn’t about to go home unpack and head back out. I can’t explain how annoyed I was that night!  
     

    Not to mention there was security, why couldn’t they search my bag to see nothing  illegal?! 

    In the past (like within the past 2 years or so) Steamworks Chicago did search bags.  Also at some point the bag had to be clear although that could be in another bag.  I was luckily permitted entry on a layover flight from Europe.  But they seem to change their rules fairly frequently.

     Once Steamworks bought the place that changed immediately.  Basically the entire staff was canned and everyone not matter, age, body type or any other trait was made to feel welcome. 

    Well, there have been rumor's that Steamworks Chicago has denied entry to men >= 60 in the past few years.

    Is there some sort of bathhouse directory app that lists all the open bathhouses in the world with information, pics and reviews?

    Would love that...

    Well, there used to be.  One of them was the Spartacus Gay Guide which was *THE* Gay guide worldwide many decades ago through the early-90's. Even though it was Euro centric it was still pretty accurate around the world.   It exists now as an app and a website.  I haven't checked it out in a while but here is the url: [think before following links] [think before following links] [think before following links] [think before following links] [think before following links] [think before following links] https://spartacus.gayguide.travel/blog/   (sorry, really a waste of time)

    But just doing a spot check now shows it's out of date.  Might still be useful in Europe.  I'll try to take a look later.

    Whereis.gay has a listing of the "World's best gay saunas for 2024" - these look up to date but it's not exhaustive: [think before following links] [think before following links] [think before following links] [think before following links] [think before following links] [think before following links] https://whereis.gay/worlds-best-gay-saunas/  

    There is gaybathhouse.org and it is supposed to be exhaustive.  Haven't checked it out since COVID though: [think before following links] [think before following links] [think before following links] [think before following links] [think before following links] [think before following links] https://www.gaybathhouse.org/p/gay-bathhouse-and-sauna-by-country.html  (however this doesn't list Club Babylon in Mexico City so it's not complete, although Babylon *MIGHT* technically not be a sex club and not a sauna but they include Slammers in LA ....- I just noticed, it's totally US centric with some places in Mexico, Australia and a couple of other places).

     

    => Nighttours.com looks like a fairly complete (but probably still not exhaustive) alphabetical list by city: [think before following links] https://www.nighttours.com/gay-sauna/

     

     

  10. Ro.com (Roman) - I haven't bought anything from them in a while (because I am overwhelming a bottom and am trying to get back to more naturopathy methods) but I went to a cumdump-ish party in Fall 2023 and used the viagra they sent me just fine.

    BTW - these guys were recommended to me by guys with lots of enhancement experience most of whom were also poz exclusive porn guys (at least at that time).  I had run into them at the edges of a MAL event a few years ago.

    The illness that I am quite certain was my seroconversion put me in the hospital in 2011. Among the tests I was given to determine the cause of my illness was a test for HIV infection.

    That test came back negative.

    False negative.

    Because of that false negative, they treated my symptoms until they diminished and finally sent me home saying they thought it was some kind if virus but didn’t know what kind.

    As far as they knew, however, it wasn’t HIV. Their test said it wasn’t.

    Three years later I was back in the same hospital with a CD4 count of 49 and a viral load of 85,000. Because I had gone untreated for three years after a seroconversion serious enough to hospitalize me. Because of medical ignorance, overconfidence, incompetence, or some combination thereof.

    To be fair, I also had had some of the shittiest luck conceivable - after that false negative, I had three other HIV tests also come back false negative. Three. That’s four in a row. What are the chances?

    WOW!  That's supposed to be 81 chances in one trillion (US trillion, 10^12).  So this is supposed to be impossible if the tests had been done 3 months or more after infection.  That's really astounding. 

  13. Jay89 - apparently MegaPlex in Providence, RI is the only bathhouse in New England still standing.    Here is their link: [think before following links] [think before following links] https://www.thegaymegaplex.com/

    Just go and check it out.  I have been in gay saunas/bathhouses/gay sex clubs all over the world - all of them let you bring your own lube.  Steamworks in Chicago has gotten a little weird about that though and one venue in NYC was suspicious of liquids being brought in, but aside from them it's not an issue (in fact it's a necessity - no one has enough lube for a packed club and clubs still can get packed).
